The Company has entered into agreements with its unconsolidated joint ventures to provide management services related to the underlying projects (collectively referred to as the “Management Agreements”). Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Company receives a management fee from its unconsolidated joint ventures based on each project's revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company earned $2.5 million, $4.7 million, $2.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, in management fees, which have been recorded as fee building revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During June 2016, our LR8 Investors LLC unconsolidated joint venture (Lambert Ranch) made its final distributions and our outside equity partner exited the joint venture. Upon the change of control, we were required to consolidate this venture as a wholly owned subsidiary, and the Company assumed the cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, including warranty reserve, of the joint venture. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, we remeasured the assets and liabilities at fair value prior to consolidation resulting in a remeasurement gain of $1.6 million, which is included in equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
